Razor – French Shoulder less tailless chopper – can’t make out trademark
Brush – Semouge boar
Soap – Tabac
AST - ALUM
AS – Tabac

Good morning
Another tail less wedge razor I just honed up for a buttery shave. G-10 scales by DirtyChrome. A perfect balance for this massive chopper. Gads what a beast. A couple days of beard growth was not a problem for this razor.

Oh yeah, better late than never for a Halloween theme. Hope there are no more earthquakes in the middle of the night down in JimR’s neck of the woods. I slept through but the animals woke me up. Have a great week all.
Mike

Prep: Hot shower - followed by Lucky Tiger Molle’ brushless shave cream
SS/SC: Valobra “Almond” + Irisch Moos
Brush: Simpsons PL8 Polo 8 “Super Badger”
Strop: VB Red Latigo 50 fabric; 55 leather
Razor: 11/16” Gebr. Herring
Toner: Thayers “Lemon” Witch Hazel w/ Aloe Vera
ASB: Realm for Men
AS: Irisch Moos
Result: A stupendous shave!

A couple of SRD friends contacted me knowing about my love of Corvettes and informed me there was a "Corvette" razor for sale on the SRD classifieds. After just picking up the Fily from Mikael I was reluctant to spend more money in order to keep the SWMBO at bay. Well, it did not work. I looked at the razor and figured I could explain to the SWMBO that it was another Corvette, but much cheaper than the other one which is parked in the garage.
I just wanted to thank my friends, you know who you are, for feeding my RAD. As luck would have it, I was contacted by Max right after these two purchases and informed that I was getting close to being able to design a custom for myself. All I can say is SWMBO will NOT be happy. A quick trip to the mall where I walk her into the Coach store will make things a bit easier. This custom will cost more than I ever thought!!


Today's early afternoon shave:

Warm Shower, Stephan's, warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Custom badger by Tim
Acca Kappa Shave cream
Corvette Extra,1965, 7/8, half hollow, Austrian Phoenix Steel. (advertised as Japanese)
Razorock Aluminum
Old Spice
Vaseline for men

Ran the razor over the 4/8K Nortons, 12K Naniwa and Crox and stropped on SRD Felt and leather 200 laps.

Nice edge, nice shave.

Enjoy the day.

I saw that and was tempted but thought it would be better going to a Corvette aficionado. I'm still looking for the Chevette version
